Important Safety Measures to Note During Floods
• Keep sharing your location and updates with your family daily. Prepare an emergency contact sheet and save it in everyone’s phone.
• Keep your phone charged, have a power bank ready, and pack important documents in a waterproof plastic bag inside one emergency bag.
• Stay away from rivers, streams, bridges, and unpaved roads. If you see deep water ahead, turn back immediately; even one foot of fast-flowing water can sweep away a vehicle.
• Keep a first aid kit at home with clean drinking water, dry food, a flashlight, batteries, essential medicines, and special items for children and the elderly.
• Take care of the most vulnerable people in your neighborhood: the elderly, disabled, pregnant women, and single mothers. Check on them first, then focus on other tasks.
• Cooperate with reliable local organizations and district administration. Follow only official and verified weather updates.
• Together, by supporting each other, we can get through this difficult time.
